माया खोज्न गएकी थिएँ, तर आफैंलाई भेटेँ। : Afrin Banu : The Storyyellers

Описание: Afrin Banu is a 26-year-old entrepreneur who is also working as a sales executive at Kajal Naina Jewelleries. During the 59th session of The Storyyellers, she shared her story of rebellion—of defying expectations and breaking free from the life others had planned for her.

Afrin Banu grew up in a broken family. Her parents had separated, and she was raised in her maternal home. At just three years old, her mother left for work, and the absence of both parents left her with lingering questions that troubled her throughout her childhood.

She was naturally rebellious—always drawn to the things she was told not to do. The more restrictions she faced, the more determined she became to push boundaries. In her community, it was common for girls to be married off right after completing grade 10, and her friends would often tease her, saying, "You'll be the first one among us to get married. Your life is over." But Afrin never saw marriage as the ultimate goal. To her, it felt like a full stop to everything she wanted to achieve.

Determined to shape her own future, she continued her education. With no financial support, she funded her +2 in science by tutoring neighborhood kids. She dreamed of becoming a dentist and pleaded with her mother for help, but when no support came, the pressure to get married resurfaced.
With her dream of dentistry slipping away, she made a bold decision—she enrolled in a BBA program instead. Throughout her studies, she took on multiple internships and later secured a job.

At one point, she met someone who helped her see life from a different perspective. He gave her wings, made her believe in possibilities she hadn’t considered before. But just when everything seemed to be going well, he disappeared without a word—leaving her to navigate yet another chapter of her life on her own.
